Wedding Day Perfume Suggestions?

I don't normally wear much perfume...I used to wear Ralph Lauren Romance and then Polo Blue but when that bottle ran out, I didn't buy anything to replace it.  I thought it would be nice to buy a new bottle of perfume for the wedding so that I could always associate that scent with my wedding day (I'm a neuroscientist so the dorky side of me is coming out about the whole scent recognition/association thing LOL).

I like light floral scents...nothing too strong.  My MOH is very sensitive to perfume smells (sometimes it triggers a migraine for her) so I need to be sensitive to that fact and not spray it around her or bathe myself in it LOL

Any suggestions?

    I use hypnose by Lancme, very nice light scent, sounds like something you might like.

  • I love Coach perfume.  I have Poppy and Poppy Flower, but I really want to get the signature one.  All are floral to me.

    Speaking of scent recognition, whenever I put on the Poppy perfume I think about the first summer FI and I spent together. :)

  • I love Daisy by Marc Jacobs.  I wore it the whole time I studied abroad in college and I haven't replaced it since it ran out, but I always spray it when I am at a department store because I love the feeling of all of the memories flooding back!  

    Debating whether or not to use that or find something new for my wedding day, also.

  • I'm not really familiar with your previous fragrances.  I'm going to treat myself to a bottle of mademoiselle by chanel. It's soft and florally.
  • I'm wearing Ralph by Ralph Lauren. Its very light and floraly. And very perfect for the Big day for me!

  • I plan on wearing Versace Bright Crystal. I got a small bottle of it for free for buying so much at Sephora one time. It smells young yet mature, it is a very nice scent. 

    I recommend going to Sephora and smelling all the different perfumes, find one that you will love.

  • I wear Pure Poison by Dior for special occasions. Whenever I wear it someone always says "OMG, you smell so good, what are you wearing?"

    I'll probably stick with that for the wedding.

  • I'd ask your MOH if there are certain scents that cause this issue or if it is all scents.  She may be able to recommend a scent that doesn't bother her as much or even at all.  My mom has this same problem but isn't bothered by vanilla and lavender scents.

  • My favorite is Lilu by Pac Sun. Its a nice light scent. I'm thinking of getting Taylor Swift's new perfume Wonderstruck. I like it but don't know if I like it enough to wear for the wedding

  • I adore the Chance line by Chanel. I wear Chance Eau Fraiche(sp?) in fall and winter - and have always gotten a ton of compliments when I wear it. It's feminine but has a slightly woodsy scent. I also love Chance Eau Tendre, which is lighter and more feminine. I wear that in the spring and summer; both versions last all day long.

    I'm going to wear Chance Eau Fraiche on our wedding day! I don't feel the need to get something special for the day, although I did think about it.
  • I want to wear ralph lauren blue for the wedding day. I was actually thinking about this the other day and using my perfume as my something borrowed since I don't have a bottle right now. I wear Ed hardy Love Kills slowly everyday and I love the smell of that.

  • There are few scents that my body chemistry doesn't alter to something offensive. I have a few that work, and FI loves them. I will probably wear Juicy on our wedding day.

  • I've worn romance for ten years so its kind of my signature I guess and so wear it for the wedding day. I like Chanel chance, but Its a bit stronger. I also really like l'intertit sp which is by givenchy I think it was Audrey hepburns scent.

     I love love love Lilu! I am happy someone else out there does too! But I am wearing Pink Sugar by Aqualina. It is a sweet sugary smell, every time I wear it I get compliments.

  • Happy Heart by Clinique is my favourite, I don't like really heavy 'perfume-y' perfumes and I find that one to be light and fresh.
  • I will be wearing BVLGARI Omnia Coral on my wedding day.  It is light and fresh.
